Today's lesson focused on introducing (or reviewing) what a variable is and what it does. Students evaluated simple expressions, such as x-7 for different values of x. Students took notes over some example problems, then practiced these on a worksheet in class. I then took questions and we graded the worksheet.
Homework:
pages 6-8 #'s 19-30,32,35-38,44,50-53

8/22/2007 Algebra 2-Algebraic Expressions and Models
Today in class, we finished up our work on section 1. I took questions over the worksheet due for today and then we corrected it. Students then completed the lesson test over section one to check their progress on the concepts.
Students took some notes over our next section, 1.2 Algebraic Expressions and Models. We went over the notes together and I sowed some example problems. These examples dealt with evaluating exponents, evaluating expressions (with and without variables) using the order of operations and simplifiying expressions by combining like terms.
Students did a worksheet in class that will be graded and will complete some work from the book.
Homework:
1.2 worksheet (if not completed in class)
pages 14-16 #'s 15-18, 20-52 even & 62-67

Explain why (-3)^4 and -3^4 have different solutions
